It was raining yesterday,
I was at the balcony,
relishing the usual beauty,
soothing breeze, dancing trees,
until something caught my eye,
amidst the woodlot, thin and high,
unmoving, not drenching,
it was extricating
amidst the sways, still it stays,
dip... dip dip drip the drops
pitter-patter, whoosh and splash
everything subsides,



I see the silence,
I hear the silence.
